K.i.d.s. Say The Funniest Things

Teaching English as a foreign language can be hilarious. I mean the things that students say can make or break your day.

Teacher: Nathan isn't coming anymore.

Student: What teacher. Nathan is an animal.

Teacher: Not animal. Anymore.

Student: Teacher what animal is he?




Other days they are offensive little bastards.

Student: Oh, teacher that is scary.

Teacher: What.

Student: Teacher you shouldn't wear eyeline.

Teacher: Well, you little bitch there are somethings you shouldn't say to someone three times your age. Shut the fuck up and practice your god dam phonics. By the way you dumb fuck it's EYELINER. (p.s. this is the private dialogue that I had with myself).






This is what I wanted too do.

Student: Teacher, that is scary!

Teacher: No BITCH this is scary.

Student: Ouch!

Teacher: That's right BITCH you got knocked the fuck out. Now keep your remarks to your god dam self.

Thank You For Not Smoking

Before I came to Korea, I didn't smoke. But now all I seem to do is put cigarettes in my mouth. I must admit things are different here...I mean at home in Birmingham, England. You can't smoke in public places but in Korea you can smoke almost anywhere and everywhere. Plus they are so freaking cheap. I mean fags are only sold in packs of 20 and they cost about £1.25. How wonderful for me...who smokes like a pissing chimney now.



Another thing I only started doing more here is drinking copious amounts of coffee. I mean I drank coffee before but I was always more of a tea person. But to get the tea I want I have too travel so far to the store and needless to say I am one of the laziest people on the planet. So, I drink coffee....cups and cups of the stuff.

This new diet of mine is not good for my health. But on the plus side am getting skinnier and needless to say I'm so fed up of walking into shops in Korea and being unable to find my size or worst still being told they don't have large size.

Like bitch....don't get me started on the whole LARGE size thing. That is another post entirely!!!!!!!!!!!

Uncertainty

I wonder if I've made the right decision???? I decided to stay in Korea for another year but after completing the application. I have so many feelings of uncertainty. My heart feels like it's being torn apart. I'm worried that my relationship won't last! It's quite new about five months and I fear that I won't be able to stay here if it should end. I miss my family so much these days and even though I'm having fun here......will I still be having fun in eight months time. Will my relationship withstand the hands of time. I fear my thoughts of negativity are going to lead it too finish prematurely.

Lack of physicality is becoming troublesome. But then I wonder is intimacy more important than sex. The lack of the latter is causing me so much frustration and irritability. So, clearly I am in need of the sex but my pride is causing obstruction. Communication. I know......I mentioned it once before but stumbled and hit my head against a closed door. The response was I'm tired and as the weeks pass by I wonder if he is sleeping with someone else......Have I made the right decision to stay????

Language Paranoia

I've never felt so insecure in a relationship before!!!! What is the cause of this new found paranoia. My first language is English and my boyfriend's is Korean. Whenever his phone rings or he gets a message or he chats online......I feel a twinge of paranoia.

I can't understand what his saying to who ever his talking too. I guess I have trust issues....well usually my previous boyfriend's first language was English. So, naturally I can catch the gist of what they're saying or if they're talking to a boy or girl. But now I don't have this luxury and it's driving me a little INSANE.

I wanna know what his saying and whose he saying it too. Is that so bad??? I don't know but I hate feeling paranoid. Now, TRUST has never been such a burden. I mean you always have to trust your boyfriend to some extent but you know....when they're talking to too many females or saying sweet nothings to other women....at least you could understand if it was in ENGLISH. Wowwwwwww, I have a serious case of paranoia. HOLY SHIT!!!!!!!!

In Pursuit of Happiness

I watched the movie yesterday, In Pursuit of Happyness but I couldn't bring myself to write happiness incorrectly in the post title. Guess that says something about my character, right or maybe I just watch to much of these criminal profiling shows to think that refusing to spell happiness incorrectly has a much more DEEPER meaning????

I can't believe so much time has lapsed since I wrote something on my blog. I used to look at other people's blogs and think wowwwwwww, how come they haven't written anything in months and now I find myself on the otherside of the Looking Glass!!!!! But who cares, point is I'm here now and I'm still alive and able to write on here if I chose too. So, here is my long awaited POST...yes, I'm BACK in the BUILDING so to speak.

I feel like I've been given happy pills for the past four months because I'm so unbelievably happy. I would say I've been drinking the happy milk in this picture except the fact that I detest milk....well, only milk that has no artificial flavours or preservatives!!! But, nonetheless I think similarly to Will Smith (if you've had the pleasure of watching the movie) I discovered happiness. I never thought I'd find it so far from my little abode in England....BUT I think I found a taste of heaven in Korea.

I'm quite simple minded...given that I don't really care to over complicate matters as I believe even complicated matters...all begin with simplicity before they're duplicated and manipulated or whatever!!!! Point is....I feel like I'm in paradise. What has changed in my life to make me feel such bliss on earth. I wonder. I mean I'm not doing my dream job and the money that I'm making isn't pushing anything to Bill Gates. But I think I found something that money cannot buy and that is an angel. I found an angel in Korea and now everyday I feel like I'm sitting on top of the world. It's so magical how four letters can make such a difference to your whole world.
